On Wednesday night, Liverpool suffered their first Premier League loss away to Everton since 2010. With four games remaining, Jurgen Klopp’s team is now three points behind leaders Arsenal following their 2-0 loss. Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher concur that Liverpool’s title aspirations are most likely gone.
Speaking on his podcast, Gary Neville believes he can’t see Liverpool going on to win the Premier League title after their bruising 2-0 setback to Merseyside rivals Everton
According to Jamie Carragher, Liverpool’s chances of winning the Premier League are over following their loss to Everton, which forced Jurgen Klopp to issue an apology to the fans.
Liverpool lost to Everton 2-0 on Wednesday night at Goodison Park, their first Premier League loss there since 2010. With four games remaining, Liverpool is currently three points behind leaders Arsenal.
Carragher said that Manchester City’s prospects of earning a second Premier League title would end if they won their two remaining games, which would put them five points ahead of Klopp’s team.
Darwin Nunez’s finishing was criticized by Jamie Carragher after Liverpool lost 2-0 in the Merseyside derby against Everton, despite the Uruguayan striker missing a fantastic opportunity.
He stated on Sky Sports: “This is Everton’s night. You must offer it to them. As a Liverpool supporter, you have to accept that.
Liverpool’s run for the crown is over. It seems to be coming to an end. All they need to do is make sure they have a solid end to the season.
They had several opportunities to win the game, but they currently lack the necessary clinicality in both categories.
You can’t be too upset with the team or with Jurgen Klopp, in my opinion. It’s been an amazing voyage and ride. But you have to take it in stride because this is Everton’s night.
Klopp: I sincerely apologize to the supporters.
Klopp conceded that Liverpool’s performance was “not good enough” and lamented the manner in which his team gave Everton the advantage by giving up both set-piece goals.
Before stepping down at the end of the season, Klopp was coaching his final Merseyside derby. In an interview with Sky Sports, he stated, “I’m really disappointed.”
“We allowed it to unfold into the match that Everton desired. Two objectives from half-space. They have a great deal of strength.
However, we produced a lot but failed to score. Then, we weren’t really clear enough in the second half since we were rushed and upset.

After Liverpool’s title ambitions were damaged by a 2-0 loss at Everton, manager Jurgen Klopp acknowledged that his team wasn’t good enough that evening.
Then, using a play that they use all season, we give up a second goal. We knew the ball was going there, but our defense was unable to stop it.
“Free kick after free kick was given. That was a narrative element. However, we fell short.
“That performance caught me off guard, but it did happen. Even if this isn’t the best time to be alive, you must persevere and seize every opportunity to acquire strength.
“We had a little of it following Fulham, but we have two strikers: Diogo Jota, who is injured, and Cody Gakpo, who is a father. That is not beneficial.
“You lose to a fierce, determined opponent 2-0 while not playing your best football. We made an attempt, but it fell short. There are 500 reasons to celebrate a victory, but when you lose, it simply isn’t good enough. That’s the reality.
“I can only apologize to everyone who is here with us; I know it’s particularly difficult for our people, but it’s difficult for us too. We lost because we didn’t perform as well as we could have.
Neville: Liverpool was a predictable team.
On the Gary Neville Podcast, Neville expressed agreement with Carragher’s assessment of Liverpool’s prospects of winning the league, stating: “It will be extremely challenging for them to win the championship.”
“Things can still happen; Brighton could defeat Manchester City in some way, and Arsenal could fall short in the North London Derby.
Arne Slot may find it challenging to transition from Feyenoord to Liverpool, according to Jamie Carragher, because he would need to satisfy the team’s present requirements in order to contend for the biggest titles each season.
However, I believe that tonight, when they enter that dressing room, the mood will be gloomy. They’ll realize it’s most likely gone.
That’s my location. From here on out, I don’t think they’ll win the crown. In any case, it would be challenging, but from here? No.
“I think losing tonight is a major worry for Liverpool and Arsenal, and you’d virtually have to be faultless if you were them.”
Neville agreed with Klopp that Liverpool’s performance against Everton was below average, pointing out that this was a pattern in their previous outings.
Neville remarked, “I didn’t like aspects of their first half at Fulham on Saturday.” “Although I dislike Liverpool, I appreciate their style when they play fast and pass with a lot of energy.
“They simply performed from the back a little more slowly and predictably.
“I am aware that, under Jurgen Klopp, they have evolved over time. That initial phase was intense and somewhat unpredictable, but I would prefer them to return to that.
“They were careless tonight; they handed away free kicks and the ball. They squandered excellent opportunities.”
season cannot end like this, says Van Dijk
After Liverpool’s 2-0 loss to Everton in the Merseyside derby, Virgil van Dijk became enraged with the team’s performance.
Virgil van Dijk, captain of Liverpool, told Sky Sports that he was “very unhappy in so many ways” and asked his teammates to reconsider their goal to win the Premier League.
“I believe that everyone needs to examine themselves in the mirror to see whether or not they truly gave it their all. Is winning the league really what they want?
We are battling; there will be games beyond tonight, but if you play the way we did throughout the game as a whole, which included losing challenges and allowing the referee multiple opportunities to award free kicks, you have little chance of winning a championship.
We have to do significantly better against a team that is battling relegation because it’s a difficult match. We should have scored in the first half when we had clear-cut opportunities, and the fight is the first step in that direction.
